This is very tough but you need to look after yourself because you cannot help your sister if you let things in your own recovery slide back.

Confussed23 said it all really. Try to stay strong and your sister might begin to want what you have instead of trying to end her life. She is safe at the moment, try not to worry too much, this will just stress you out and make your recovery harder.

Let her know that you are there for her, but don't enable her in continuing the way that she has been.

the more people that go to see her why she in the hosp the more love and support she will fell like she has and it seems you to can relate on some level iam sure you may have your difference but being there for each other through times like this is the best thing for the both of you hugs to you both and hope things get better
